This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Suture, product code F1760, is designed for fine soft tissue approximation where permanent tensile strength and precise handling are required. Manufactured from braided polyester fibre, MERSILENE™ delivers dependable long-term wound support with consistent knot security and minimal elongation.

The USP 5-0 diameter is suitable for delicate tissue closure requiring controlled placement and reliable tensile performance. The white braided construction offers smooth handling and predictable knot tying characteristics in precision-based surgical procedures.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length, providing appropriate working reach within smaller operative fields. The S-14 spatula needle is engineered for controlled lamellar tissue passage, enabling accurate placement while minimising trauma to delicate tissue layers.

As a non-resorbable suture, MERSILENE™ retains tensile strength indefinitely and is intended for procedures requiring permanent wound support. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this configuration is suitable for professional surgical environments demanding fine, durable non-absorbable closure performance.
